Thanks KevinTheJedi but from the roadmap it is not clear if this feature (export custom fields from custom forms) is included in your plans for v 2.0
As you are facing a major rewriting, could I suggest to take a look also to metrics and statistics? We went through a painful process of excel manipulation to get a graphic representation of simple metrics for our helpdesk. If you are interested in improving your dashboard I could submit more detailed feature requests.
